Solid game all around. Joe needs to start hitting the ball. How about you earn the contract.

Twins win again today 6-5.

looks like it was kind of an ugly win today, but a win is a win.
By the way, Mauer was 2/4 with 2 RBI today. He leads the team in RBI with 10.

Twins were up 5-2 at one point in the game. Nick looked terrible on the mound. He gave up 5 runs in 6 innings pitched. Two of the runs were homeruns to Ankiel. Pen look nasty again.

Jose Mijares is on the dl with vision issues. Neschek will be next with a finger issue to his pitching hand. Who will they call up?
